Shardiya Navratri 2025: This year, Sharadiya Navratri begins on Monday, September 22nd. On the first day of Navratri, the Kalash installation will take place, and the worship of Navdurga will begin. During Sharadiya Navratri, the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped for nine days. However, sometimes, Sharadiya Navratri extends to 10 days. This year, Sharadiya Navratri will also last 10 days, not nine. Durga Visarjan will then take place on the 11th day. Let us understand why this year's Sharadiya Navratri is 10 days long. What is its significance?
Sharadiya Navratri is 10 days long.
According to the calendar, this year's Sharadiya Navratri begins on September 22nd and concludes with the Mahanavami havan on October 1st. Vijayadashami and the end of Sharadiya Navratri will be observed on October 2nd. According to scriptures, the nine-day Navratri is considered auspicious, while the ten-day Sharadiya Navratri is considered especially fruitful.
Why the ten-day Sharadiya Navratri?
Sharadiya Navratri begins on Ashwin Shukla Pratipada and concludes on Ashwin Shukla Navami, i.e., Mahanavami. According to the Druk Panchang, this year, the Tritiya Tithi in Sharadiya Navratri falls on two days. This makes Sharadiya Navratri 10 days longer than nine.
Durga Visarjan will take place on October 2nd.
Vijayadashami falls on Ashwin Shukla Dashami. The idols of Goddess Durga are immersed on this day. This year, Durga Visarjan is on October 2nd. Sharadiya Navratri Date Calendar
